View clinical trials related to Dermatitis, Atopic.
Filter by:Purpose of the study: One bothering feature of atopic dermatitis is its relapsing nature. Hence, it is worthwhile to test modes how to efficiently prevent relapses or at least increase the time until the disease recurs. In order to give recommendations to other patients, this study is to scientifically describe efficacy and safety of a given regimen, namely a maintenance therapy with two days a week Advantan.
Atopic dermatitis is a common disease. Emollients and Elidel have both shown to be effective to treat this disease. The research question is, whether the effective component (Elidel) is better than the emollient to improve the skin function.
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection is perceived not only as a common secondary complication of atopic dermatitis (AD), but also as a culprit in the worsening of this condition. In addition, the recent development of community acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) has presented a new challenge to our management of AD, both in treatment of acute infections and maintenance therapy. The investigators would like to perform a randomized investigator-blinded placebo-controlled study of children aged 6 months to 17 years with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis with clinical signs of secondary bacterial infection to study: 1) the prevalence of CA-MRSA in our patient population; 2) the relationship of sensitivity of the S. aureus organism cultured from the infected lesion(s) to clinical response to oral cephalexin therapy and severity of the AD; and 3) whether concurrent treatment of S. aureus infection initially with nasal mupirocin ointment and sodium hypochlorite (bleach) baths can result in long-term S. aureus eradication and clinical stability.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and sleep problems in patients with chronic skin diseases in dermatology clinics at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics.
A probiotic (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) supplement to pregnant women the last four weeks of pregnancy and three months after birth is expected to give a 40% reduction in risk of atopic sensitisation and allergic disease at two years of age, compared to placebo.
The Early Prevention of Asthma in Atopic Children (EPAAC™). 24 months study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of levocetirizine (LCTZ) in preventing the onset of asthma in 12 to 24 months old children.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pimecrolimus cream 1% in its registered indication (treatment of patients > 3 months of age with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis) This study is not enrolling patients in the United States.
The study was designed to test the hypothesis whether a standardized, time-and score-oriented treatment following a strict evidence based algorithm is equally effective to a standard treatment regimen for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Study Type: Mono-centre study, patients are blinded, physicians are randomized to either treat study- or controll group Eligible are patients age 2 years or older with SCORAD >= 20 Duration: 12 Months, study visits every 4 weeks. Primary endpoint is Difference between Baseline SCORAD and mean SCORAD under treatment. Secundary endpoints are quality of life, safety and economic burden in both treatment groups.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a measurable improvement on a validated scale in a small population of adult patients with atopic dermatitis (eczema).
This study is not being conducted in the United States. To investigate the relative efficacy of pimecrolimus cream 1% applied twice daily (b.i.d.) versus once daily (o.d.) in preventing the progression to disease "relapse".
